City council has agreed to consider providing a bailout for Theatre Cambrian, the latest arts group forced to head to the city cap in hand looking for money.

The theatre troupe is looking for $150,000 after struggling in its new home, a former church on Eyre Street.

Meeting on Tuesday, councillors agreed to have staff examine the situation at Theatre Cambrian to assess where they're at financially and report back to council whether it makes sense to provide them with the money.

Councillors agreed to help the Sudbury Theatre Centre and the Sudbury Symphony Orchestra earlier this year, after both groups were hit by unexpected financial struggles. 

Both groups had a recovery plan in place to prevent a similar situation from happening again.

The report on Theatre Cambrian, and the recommendation on whether to bail them out, will ready in a few months.
